Content Videos (Lectures and animations to supplement lessons):
Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):
- Gas Properties Simulation (students pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other)
- Real Gases (In this animated activity, learners compare the van der Waals equation with the Ideal Gas Law)
- Balloons & Buoyancy Simulation (students experiment with a helium balloon, a hot air balloon, or a rigid sphere filled with different gases. Discover what makes some balloons float and others sink)
- Boyle’s Law (students conduct an experiment to determine how the volume of a gas changes with the pressure for a fixed amount of gas and temperature)
- Boyle’s Law Calculations (A sample of gas is allowed to expand. Students are asked to predict the change in pressure for the gas, and this prediction is tested)
- Charles’ Law 1 (students repeat Charles’s historical experiments and use the experimental data to formulate the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas and to determine absolute zero)
- Charles’ Law 2 (In this interactive object, students examine how the volume and temperature of an ideal gas relate under conditions of constant pressure and quantity)
- Ideal Gas Law (students test the validity of the ideal gas law by measuring the pressure of a gas at various molar concentrations. The value of the gas constant is determined graphically)
- Dalton’s Law (two gases are allowed to mix, and students are asked to predict the final pressure of the gas mixture)
- Effusion Virtual Experiment (students compare effusion rates of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Xenon, Krypton, and three unknown gases)
